you mean replace your drum brakes to disk? If your talking about your 99 ls. It should come with rear disk.

If your talking about putting your front rotors on the rear because of size? No. Or just out of curiousity for some weird reason no.

nope, front rotors are taller than rear, meaning if you take one of each off and layed them both down flat, the rear rotor will be shorter.

the front rotor will hit the strut assmbley cuz it has to slide on futher to be able to put the lug nut on them, like i said before if you take one of each and lay the down flat with the ground, the rear rotors are about an inch or more shorter

With some cars, they need some fitting.

Example, for the front rotors to fit on the rear of my Accord, bolt pattern is the same.......I need to reduce the hub size by about 1/10 inch and make a bracket to hold the disc caliper, plus a parking brake solution.

The easiest way to tell about yours is to unbolt them and see if they fit by bolt-on, or need a little machining, or if they fit at all.........-Bob

Yeah the bolts would match up, but rotors arent expensive enough to make a bracket just to fit the fronts on the rears. but why go through such of a hassle for something that costs so little brand new
